Badge Features ··· 25
Microphone and Speaker
The unidirectional design of the microphone enables it to gather and transmit
speech, yet minimizes the amount of background noise that is picked up.
You can adjust the speaker volume by using the buttons on the left side of the
badge. See Adjusting the Volume on page 31.
Display Screen
The display screen on the back of the badge provides status information and
a menu allowing you to view badge information and customize settings. The
display screen also allows you to view text messages sent by email, the Vocera
User Console, or an application that integrates with the Vocera system, such
as a nurse call system. See The Badge Menus on page 26 for information
about each of the screens in the badge menu.
The B2000 badge features a high-contrast, high-resolution display with an
extensive grey-scale to provide greater readability. This display allows for fonts
that use both upper- and lower-case characters.

The B2000 badge automatically launches a screen saver when its display
is inactive. The screen saver shows your first name and the first initial of
your last name, along with an icon indicating the remaining battery life. The
badge dismisses this screen saver immediately if the display needs to become
active—for example, if you receive a call or a message.
You can manually interrupt the screen saver and return the badge to its
previous display by using any of the badge buttons:
• Pressing a side button dismisses the screen saver without taking any
additional action.
• Pressing the Call button dismisses the screen saver and also initiates a call.
